Give Star Iron a little MC shock

Everyone got up to prepare for departure, and Natasha bid farewell to them.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, but I still need to look after the patients at the clinic, so I can't leave to accompany you to find Schwarzkopf."

"It's alright, it's alright." March 7th waved his hand with a smile: "Sister Natasha, just go about your business. We're used to traveling around."

Natasha smiled and nodded: "Then I wish you all the best."

After saying goodbye to Natasha, the group left the hotel and followed Seele out of town.

The further you go, the more railway tracks appear on the ground, leading to various different roads.

"Wow, this is truly worthy of being the lower level of a former mine; you can see exposed ore everywhere!"

March 7th stared in astonishment at the exposed minerals on the surrounding rock walls; it was the first time she had ever seen such a sight.

Seele shook her head dismissively. She saw this scene dozens of times every day and was already used to it.

"These mines are nothing special. After all, this area was almost completely mined out a long time ago, and there are only a few minerals exposed."

Hearing what Xi'er said, Xing He took out his pickaxe and walked to the rock wall to the side. He raised the pickaxe and began to strike a mineral he had never seen before that was exposed on the rock wall.

"Xing He? Be careful, digging randomly could cause a landslide!"

Xi'er was startled by Xing He's sudden action and quickly went over to stop him, but before she could get close, Xing He had already dug the ore off the rock wall, leaving a smooth, square gap in the rock wall.

"Earth marrow? A substitute for coal?"

Using the JEI module, Xing He quickly learned the name and function of the new mineral he had unearthed.

"Xing He, how did you do that?!"

Seele's surprised voice rang out beside him as she stared intently at the square gap in the wall.

This gap should have been very easy to cause a collapse, but the rock wall in front of us remained completely still, as if the gap did not exist at all.

Xing He scratched his head and could only casually explain, "Just think of it as my pickaxe having special abilities."

“I see.” Xi’er gave Xing He’s pickaxe a deep look.

At first, when she saw Xing He pull out this crudely made pickaxe, she thought it was a piece of junk he had bought from some shady merchant in the lower district.

I never expected it to have such an effect. If only all the miners in the lower zones had such a treasure.

Every year, a significant number of people die in mine collapses in the lower levels. If Xing He had the pickaxe, perhaps the number of miners injured or killed in the lower levels could be reduced.

After a brief moment of distraction, Seele shook her head to clear her mind and urged, "Alright, let's hurry up and go. The mechanical settlement where Schwarz is is quite a distance from here."

"Row."

Xing He wasn't particularly interested in the Earth Marrow, since it couldn't be used to make any special equipment; its main purpose was as fuel, so it wasn't worth Xing He spending his time mining it.

Not long after everyone started moving again, they saw two members of the Earthfire running towards them, both wearing the same red ribbons tied around their shoulders as Seele.

Seeing the anxious look on the face of the Earthfire member, Seele quickly stopped the two of them.

"What's wrong with you two? Why do you look so anxious?"

The members of the Earthfire team who were stopped immediately showed joy when they saw that it was Seele blocking their way.

"Captain Seele! Something terrible has happened! Those monsters have reappeared!"

"what?"

Seele frowned immediately: "Are we short-handed?"

The two members of the Earthfire team nodded: "It was enough before, but those miners refused to leave the mine, saying that if they left, it would definitely be taken over by those vagrants again. We need to spare some manpower to protect those miners, so we are now in a bit of a bind."

Upon hearing this, Xi'er frowned deeply, turned around and said apologetically to Xing He and the other two, "I'm sorry, it may take a while, I have to go help."

Xing He waved his hand to indicate that it was no problem: "It's alright, we're not in a hurry. We're here anyway, so we can help out."

March 7th nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, that's right! We're the Nameless Ones!"

"Thank you."

After a brief thank you, Seele immediately had the two Earthfire members lead the way, and the group quickly ran towards the mine where the accident had occurred.

Upon arriving at the scene, the group saw seven members of the Earthfire organization fighting against more than a dozen green, humanoid monsters. However, when the Earthfire members thrust their weapons into the monsters, the monsters did not react at all, and did not even stop moving forward for a moment.

They were forced to retreat with a group of miners, but with the rock wall behind them, where could they retreat to?

"What a disgusting monster! Its skin is all green!"

When March 7th saw the dozen or so zombies, he covered his mouth and nose in disgust, as if the air was filled with some rotten smell.

Upon seeing the zombies, Xing He remained calm and composed.

Even cave spiders and monster spawners have appeared. He felt something was off if a few zombies didn't spawn in this dark mine.

Upon seeing the monsters, Seele swung her scythe and rushed forward in a blur. However, she did not choose to confront the zombies head-on. Instead, she secretly stabbed them in the back before immediately disappearing into the shadows.

However, the zombies seemed to be able to see her. Even when Seele became invisible, they kept staring at her location and even chased after her with their hands raised.

Seeing that Xi'er was about to be surrounded, March 7th quickly grabbed Xing He's sleeve and shook it.

"Xing He, quickly use your invincible brain to think of a solution!"

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Zombie's Natural Enemy - Trapdoors

As March 7th said this, Danheng had already rushed forward, raising his spear and stabbing it at one of the zombies chasing Seele.

However, the spear failed to penetrate the zombie's body when it hit. If the zombie hadn't made an unintelligible cry after being attacked, Dan Heng would have doubted whether he had hit it at all.

After being stabbed by Dan Heng, the zombie immediately turned around and swung its arms at Dan Heng.

Dan Heng reacted extremely quickly, blocking the zombie's attack by holding his spear horizontally in front of him before it could hit him.

However, when the zombie's arms struck the spear that was held in front of him, Dan Heng felt as if he had been hit in the chest. He let out a muffled groan and took two steps back, looking in surprise at the zombie that was slowly chasing after him.

"I blocked the shot, so why did I still get injured?"

On the other side, Seele, who was kiting the zombies, saw that Danheng was injured and quickly reminded him, "Be careful! These monsters' attacks are very unreasonable, but they move very slowly, so let's keep our distance first!"

Dan Heng nodded and quickly retreated to Xing He and San Yueqi's side, while glancing at Xing He.

In his eyes, Xing He always managed to come up with some methods to deal with these never-before-seen monsters.

"Xing He, is there any way? Will the wooden boat you gave us before work on them?"

"Of course, but it would be a bit of a waste. Don't panic, my dear minister. They're just some zombies, not some little zombie warriors in the grass."

Xing He remained completely calm; in fact, he saw stars when he saw the zombies.

The moment he saw the zombie, a book titled "On the Ingenious Uses of Zombies" immediately popped into his mind.

One of them is the most practical iron brushing machine.

But we can talk about that later. Right now, let's help Seele deal with these zombies.

Xing He took a workbench out of his pocket, slammed it on the ground, and began operating it.

Seeing Xing He calmly making things on the spot, on March 7th, I couldn't help but glance at the workbench.

Seeing Xing He quickly place six wooden planks on the workbench, she couldn't help but ask, "Xing He, are you making a small wooden boat to trap these zombies like you did with the antimatter soldiers before?"

"Do not."

Xing He denied it without looking up: "That would be too wasteful of wood, and wooden boats can't be stacked, which would waste my backpack slots. Besides, these zombies are stupid, so we don't need wooden boats to deal with them."

Immediately afterwards, Xing He suddenly pulled out a square wooden object with a grid-like structure, resembling a window, from the workbench.

"With this, that's enough."

Dan Heng, who was originally about to take out the wooden boat, couldn't help but stop and look over when he saw Xing He suddenly take out a new prop.

March 7th hurriedly asked, "What is this?"

"Trapdoor, let me set it up."

Xing He switched to his pickaxe and quickly dug a 3x3 pit in the ground. Then, he erected a pillar with a stone in the center, placed a trapdoor at the edge of the pit, and then put it away.

That's how you create a simple zombie pathfinding trap.

After doing all this, Xing He jumped out of the pit and shouted to Xi'er, "Xi'er, jump onto the pillar in this pit."

Upon hearing Xing He's voice, Xi'er immediately ran over, but when she saw the rudimentary pit, she couldn't help but ask, "Is this really going to work?"

The pillar was only one meter away from the edge of the pit; anyone could easily jump across it.

Moreover, any creature with sight can tell that this thing is a trap, so how could those monsters possibly fall for it?

However, trusting Xing He, Xi'er still jumped onto the pillar as he instructed, nervously watching the approaching horde of zombies.

Unlike the tense crowd, Xing He stood relaxed to the side, leisurely letting Dan Heng lower the wooden boat and deal with the zombie chasing him.

After Xing He killed the zombie that was chasing Dan Heng, the group of zombies that were chasing Xi Er also arrived at the edge of the pit.

At that moment, Seele's heart leaped into her throat with tension.

The next moment, as if they couldn't see the pit in front of them, the zombies walked into the pit in unison, and then they stood around the pillar, staring at Seele above and roaring incessantly.

"Huh?"×N

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Is this still the monster that gave the Earthfire Organization a headache? How can it be so stupid!

Some members of the Earthfire organization even covered their faces in shame. If these zombies seemed so dull now, then those of them who were injured by the zombies seemed even more dull.

If I had known they were mentally challenged, I would have just dug a hole and waited for them to jump in!

Somewhat puzzled, Xi'er asked Xing He, "Are they... all this dull?"

Xing He nodded: "Yes, when they are chasing a creature, they will strictly follow the nearest physical path. Trapdoors can be recognized as physical objects by them, but at the same time, trapdoors can be retracted, causing them to fall in. Isn't this pathfinding trap very simple?"

The concepts of entities and pathfinding traps left Seele somewhat confused.

"Although I couldn't understand it, I was deeply moved."

After confirming that all the zombies had fallen into the pit, Seele jumped out from the middle.

"Thank you, Xing He. Without your help, we would probably have a few more wounded people lying in hospital beds today."
